one of the most prominent citizens and
leading business men Of his day, and
the Hon. Chalmers M. Williamson, a
leading member of the bar Of Raymond,
n member OF the last House of Represen-

silk, with handsome MORE sashes and
without ornaments. The gentlemen at
PENDANTS were Messrs. John Bush, of
Vicksburg Albert Hill, of Canton; James
Carson, Of Utica; j. G. Longstreet, OF
Grenada; John W. Robinson, jr., j. II.
Preston, w. ID. Ratlff, w. ii. Potter and

in couples, in the order named above, and
by the gentlemen attendants, the ladies
marching together and the gentlemen to-
gether, in alternate couples. Then followed
Miss Mamie Campbell, who came in front

The couple then passed on up to the altar,
where the ceremony was finished by the
Rev. Geo. G. Harris, OF Madison. The
bride was given away by her brother

an interest has been felt in this
marriage on account Of the great pop
ularity Of the bride and groom, and all
wish them every happiness imaginable. A
magnificent reception was given them from
$50 to II o'clock pm. by the brides
mother, Mrs. John w. Robinson. Her
beautiful parlois were gorgcously decorat-
ed and her tables were filled with the rich
est delicacics, which were served in princcly
style, in keeping with her accustomed mode
Of entertaining. The couple left on the
1890 O'Clock north bound Illinois Central
train for an extended visit to Washington
| City.

TnE New York Evening Post thinks il
probable that the year 1000 may find the
nation still paying pensions on account Of
the civil war which ended in 1865. The
time will doubtless come in the next cen
terry when every widow Of Union soldier
will be granted pension, and the fashion
of young women marrying old soldiers is
likely never 10 die out A young man who
enlisted in the last year OF the war ut
eighteen will be seventy-eiglit In l925-the
same age at which Revolutionary soldier
In Ohio married-and il lac should pick
out girl Of sixteen, ~ the Ohio soldier
did, she would be nine years short Of n
ccntcnarian in 2OO0 In short, not merely
future generations, but future century,
may need 10 pass before the nation gets
through paying pensions.

An Institution That Has Long Been
Needed by the City.

Needed by the City.
The city has long been in need OF an
institution wherein the poor and the rich
alike might find adequate accommodation

Others, who are earning but small salary,
would be glad Of the opportunity to take a
private room in an institution OF this kind
in times Of sickness where they could OBJ
tain medical attention, home comforts and
the constant attention Of trained nurse.
Workmen In all trades have too often felt
the need Of an institution OF this noble and
philanthropic character. The real poor,
who are always with u.s." and more cs.
pccinliy the women and children, no tongue
will ever tell or pen adequately depict
the suiierings OF the afflicted Of this
